HBO is getting a look at the next episode of Watchmen that’s set to arrive with “A God Walks Into Abar,” which is scheduled for a December 8th, 2019 debut. The 8th episode of the 1st season, it’s directed by Nicole Kassell on the story by Jeff Jensen and Damon Lindelof.

The original comic was written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons.
Original Concept: In an alternate world where the mere presence of American superheroes changed history, the US won the Vietnam War, Nixon is still president, and the cold war is in full effect. WATCHMEN begins as a murder-mystery but soon unfolds into a planet-altering conspiracy. As the resolution comes to a head, the unlikely group of reunited heroes—Rorschach, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre, Dr. Manhattan, and Ozymandias—have to test the limits of their convictions and ask themselves where the true line is between good and evil.
